Bethanys Gait Ranch is devoted to equine facilitated therapy and learning programs to benefit active duty, reserve and veteran military personnel and their families. We offer programs to help with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), combat-related stress, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It is estimated that about 30% of all military personnel returning from war campaigns have experienced some form of PTSD or combat-related stress.We emphasize reintegration to civilian life, and family reunification. We also offer programs for family members who are tangentially affected by these conditions. Our leadership development and platoon building programs help take under-performing personnel to the next level of performance
